Our Verdict

Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus

EarFun UBOOM X

The EarFun UBOOM X is a better portable boombox-style speaker than the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus, though the differences are slight. The speakers are very similar in size and price and have almost identical max volumes. That said, the EarFun has a battery life that's almost four times as long as the Anker, and its built-in mic does a much better job picking up your voice in noisy environments. The main reason to choose the Anker is its support for Bluetooth multipoint, allowing you to connect your phone and laptop to the speaker simultaneously.
